This patch disables egress of unknown unicast destination addresses.
Hi Vivien,
seems to me this patch is unrelated to the rest of the series.
Not sure if we really want this. If an address is in the arp cache
but has timed out from the bridge database, any unicast to that address
will no longer be sent. If the bridge database has been flushed for some
reason, such as a spanning tree reconfiguration, we'll have a hard time
to send anything.
What is the problem you are trying to solve with this patch ?
Thanks,
Guenter
